I love the detailed breakdowns you do for this game! There are so many good content creators for SWGOH, but you are consistently one that I go to when I want a deeper understanding of not just *what* works, but how and why it does. Thank you!
It looks like DMaul and POW can share the same set, Sid and QA, Nute and MQG for those that do not want to build 16 sets for the raid. Move sets to team, run it. Move to next team before resetting to save funds.
Fascinating! I scored 200,000 less than I did last raid. I backed out, upped my offense on Maul by 900 and on Sid by 300. Next run Nute dies in round one so I back out. Next run Nute dies in round one again. I keep going. By the time I finish round two I’m already at 60% enrage. I hate this raid with a passion. This thing shouldn’t take all day to do. I’ve seriously wasted half a day and I’ve gotten one team done. Edit: Scored 300,000 less than my previous run. Going back in again.
This is excellent! Thank you for sharing this, especially that 3 man team. Worked like a charm, only issue was my nute is r3. Gonna push him to r5 very soon.
This went easier than I thought it would. Took a couple of tries but once I got the rhythm of "wait until the command droid has done his power up to unleash AOEs" it went smoothly. Now subscribed. Thanks a ton!
"We have identified an issue where Darth Maul as Leader is overperforming in this raid and will be seeking to address this in the near future." -CG, probably, because success is evil.
This helped me so much, diolch scrybe! My maul and nute aren't R7 so I used B2 lead, Magna, Maul, Sidious and Nute on tier 4. B2, I modded with just CC mods with potency. Magna was just full health mods.
This worked perfectly last week 1st time but on this one sidious keeps killing all but the leader and then gets a bonus turn so maul can't back to his aoe tried about 20 times
Amazing team suggestion Scrybe! thanks a lot. They might need remodding but as they are not particularly useful anywere else you can "leave" the specific modding on them for the next year basically... i'm already missing sidious' DC
I used darth Maul, sidious (both R7), magnaguard (R5) at difficulty level 4 - got max score (12,00,000). Thank You Really useful guide. Did follow modding advice for Maul and sidious. Also Followed advice on when to use aoe special for both 👍
Scribble, my man! How RNG dependant are you finding this team? It took me a few tries today to get a 1.4m score, and then I lost the will to live, so submitted 🙂. I dont have QUITE as good mods, but I think its pretty close! Just wondering if, with better mods, it becomes less RNG dependant. (excluding the irritating bonus turn command whatsit)
I've only been able to use this at level 0 due to my garbage toons, but it worked like a charm. Once i'm done with Gungans (easy max) and QA (once MQJ is farmable) then I'll be taking this team up next. Undermans for the win
Made it to the final wave and got double ddk AND the bonus turn bonus... 😮💨 might as well push thru. Sid basic on one ddk maul basic the same ddk for a cheeky kill. They take some turns... Maul with the NASTYYY aoe and just wipes the board! Ddk and the commander Droid standing! 1.8 easy money. R8 maul platoon really paying off 😂 You sir are a gem! I was worried about them nerfing b2 but no way this goes anywhere.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this. Took several attempts but got me the 1.8 mill which is way more convenient than my 1.2 with the b2 lead team before. Great content as usual buddy.
I did this just like you said but r5 and it worked beautifully I didn't lose nute and only 83% before enraged im going to r7 my nute so I could try it in the higher tier
I'll have to run a guide on it at some point...essentially the R8 modifier for Separatists is really good! Whenever the leader (separatist) uses a sepcial ability, you reduce the enrage timer by 1%. Essentially, B2 in the lead resetting his cooldowns and doing a LOT of AoEs makes the enrage meter barely fill. This makes it so easy to full clear the raid because there's never any danger of hitting enrage.
This is excellent! Funnily enough, i sort of stumbled on this myself as i only have 5 toons which can run the raid. So i used these 3 with yoda and r2. Its going to be a long 8 months. Still, thanks for the tactics and mods!
So Scrybe, I can get to 11k offence and 130% CC. But only 192 speed. Gonna have time be less selective with the offence but it seems I have a hell of a task ahead of me
Yeah the modding is pretty nutty. You can try and make maul slow but have no crit chance and rely exclusively on the advantage he gets (keep offense high). But I'm not sure how successful it will be; I've spent hours testing but there are so many variables to take into account.
It's funny bc I couldn't get max score with Maul lead at the R5 tier but was able to get max score with B2 at the R5 tier even though everyone says that only works at R8 😅
this worked for me the fitst time i tried it. And now in my 2nd raid, same exact mods, nothing is working. Is there a 4 person (with STAP) or even 5 person with STAP and someone else that is more consistent
I haven't tried adding additional units to this comp, so can't say. Potentially with STAP and DDK it would make it better. I wouldn't suggest adding B2 though
i got almost the same stats on toons in moding (slight differences like +/- 3%). Just did like 20 runs on tier 5 and not even getting 1,3 kk. all the time rng with provoke, bonus turn, 2x droideka, droideka not get killed with maul hit (always 1 red bar left....) this raid is annoying, terrible. i just hate it. Thanks for the guide though it surely allowed me to understand the mechanics if only that rng...
Hello Mister Cheese Master, I have two questions about the raid : - How mandatory are Maul and Sidious' zetas in the run you showcase ? - Have someone tried a Queen Amidala run with only Padawan Obi wan and no Master Qui Gon (since he's not farmable yet). I wonder if i should push for POW without being able to farm MQG Nice guide once again !
You need the zetas for Maul & Sidious :). I have not yet seen a run without MQG in the raid...I think it will hurt Padawan Obiwan quite a lot as he will lose the discplined buff. I'm sure it won't take too long for MQG to be farmable, though - and it's a fantastic team!
I'm running into a situation where at the beginning of the granted ability wave the droids are each taking several turns before I get to use the granted abilities killing everyone but maul. I cant figure out if that's normal or not. I didn't see it happen in your video. Did it happen on any of your other runs?
Could G12 characters with significantly worse mods clear one of the lowest 2 difficulties using this team/strategy? Trying to figure out what's feasible for a small account to do lol
Seriously though, it's amazing how many of these TH-camrs write/say Maul when they mean Darth Maul, and then they write/say Darth Maul when they just mean Maul. I guess influencer doesnt require a high degree of specificity?
Specificity doesn't matter when context is implicit. The thumbnail clearly shows the new raid. There's only one "Maul" that can run in the raid, which is Darth Maul.
So Nute is replaceable here? I could throw in like a Droideka or Magna and be fine, or is there another specific character like Nute, I just don’t wanna gear him if I don’t have to 😂
Nute is an R7 requirement for Lord Vader either way :). In fact, all three of these characters are r7 requirements. You could probably replace Nute with someone else, but you miss out on the dispel buff and AoE speed down.
@@ScrybeGaming i dont use hot utils so i cant justify the time moving mods on top of the horrible time sink this raid is. I would happily build loadouts if CG would just integrate mods swapping into the game
I change the ship ability use based on the modifier of the command droid. Priority 1: If the enemy has the bonus turn modifier - use the Disrupt Communications special. Priority 2: Twin Blaster Cannons. Priority 3: Defensive Spiral: I try to save this for the last wave with the two STAPs in. This gives you locked Tenacity Up so the enemy can't land provoke on you.
The RNG in this raid is too effing high. The first time I tried this I did 1.4m on tier 5. Today, I gave up on tier 5 after many attempts and now I'm giving up on tier 4 and going to a B2 lead. It's just complete ass.
@@ScrybeGaming yeah I figured, I thought maybe you had some other data points. My maul and sid are sitting at g12 with no extra pieces waiting for an SEE LS bundle haha Thanks for the reply!

Beautiful guide man can't wait to try it out. Scrybe you're definitely one of my favorite gurus in the SWGOH community for your content.
Aww, thanks man!
Well that was fun, thanks for this tip! Super helpful!!
Happy to help!
"We have identified an issue where Darth Maul as Leader is overperforming in this raid and will be seeking to address this in the near future."

Great video. I will definitely try this on my guild's next run.
Best of luck!
This worked perfectly last week 1st time but on this one sidious keeps killing all but the leader and then gets a bonus turn so maul can't back to his aoe tried about 20 times
how strange...I don't think they've changed anything in the raid?
Amazing team suggestion Scrybe! thanks a lot. They might need remodding but as they are not particularly useful anywere else you can "leave" the specific modding on them for the next year basically... i'm already missing sidious' DC
Thanks buddy :).
Thank you, as always!
you're welcome
This is an excellent guide. First try with it maxed out T5. 2nd raid same thing. This one not so much.
:) Thanks!
My guild is doing this raid tonight, thanks for the help
Happy to help
Giving Darth Maul great mods feels illegal when he's still somehow hasn't got kits updated for ages
I know. I don't want to take him any further, but pretty sure this will work at R9
This is a very helpful guide. Don't have the relics on these nerds but, if my guild is gonna stick with the raid, I may change that.
Thanks man. Best of luck!
Great vid, my DM is slow ASF, 217 but gets the job done every time.
Nicely done :)
I used darth Maul, sidious (both R7), magnaguard (R5) at difficulty level 4 - got max score (12,00,000).
Thank You

It took me a while to get it, yeah. That's my biggest issue with the raid right now. It's way too rng based.
"ABC - A, Always, B, Be, C, Critting - Always Be Critting. Coffee is for Critters-"
Wait, I think the quote breaks down there, lol
I like coffee.
Great guide. Worked great!
Thanks buddy!
Nice! Do you know if you need Maul's leadership zeta for this strategy?
Yes it’s important
I wouldn't pass it up.
You are the Naboo mvp so far, by far
Thank you kindly
Awesome, thank you for this!
My pleasure!
Doubled my score from last time with just this method 😂 Subscribed.
Hells yeah!
this worked for me!! thank you!
Happy to hear!
I can't wait to try this team, love your work. ❤
Best of luck, and thank you kindly :)

Made it to the final wave and got double ddk AND the bonus turn bonus... 😮💨 might as well push thru. Sid basic on one ddk maul basic the same ddk for a cheeky kill. They take some turns... Maul with the NASTYYY aoe and just wipes the board! Ddk and the commander Droid standing! 1.8 easy money. R8 maul platoon really paying off 😂
You sir are a gem! I was worried about them nerfing b2 but no way this goes anywhere.
Yup, that's the roughest. It's crazy how much offense you can ramp with this though!
Would be nice to see a complete team list. I am struggelig with the last 5 man scrap:p
That's coming out soon - I'm getting videos done for my runs first.
Thanks a bunch for sharing this. Took several attempts but got me the 1.8 mill which is way more convenient than my 1.2 with the b2 lead team before. Great content as usual buddy.
Awesome! Nice work man
huge thank you!
will share this far and wide :)
Thank you kindly
I just heard about this yesterday, and I was wondering how it ran. Ty
You're welcome brother
I did this just like you said but r5 and it worked beautifully I didn't lose nute and only 83% before enraged im going to r7 my nute so I could try it in the higher tier
Huge. Nice work brother
@@ScrybeGaming thanks brother
Can you take us through the B2-lead vs. Maul lead and why the specific changes to modifiers at r8 makes b2 work better?
I'll have to run a guide on it at some point...essentially the R8 modifier for Separatists is really good! Whenever the leader (separatist) uses a sepcial ability, you reduce the enrage timer by 1%.

@@ScrybeGaming Excellent! Thank you!
Well, I was trying to figure out what to do for Sidious modding since Sid Cron is gone...
Facts
Yeah how important are zetas on those?? Thx
I'd say they're mandatory on Darth Maul and Sidious
@@ScrybeGaming thanks
Will test it next time. I have everything ready.
Best of luck!
Perfect, thanks
This will help me and probably my guild to get cheaper runs in
also, Nute is getting thick
Haha, he is!
Last time 1.5 - this time 1.8. So full clear
Winning!

Do you think this is possible without the lead zeta? With the right rng I guess to get crits
potentially. It does add a nice degree of survivability to the team, though.
Doesn't work on lower difficulties, crits do 20k and non crits do 8-12k
Hi scrybe thanks for the guide video! Does doing this free up another usable separatist team?
I don't think so at this point...I need to do more testing!
Why so much people underrate Maul’s lead zeta? It’s incredible, and helps a lot in different situations, e.g. in galactic challenges and conquest
I've used it for a long time now. No ragrets.
It was my first zeta, when zetas came out
Got 1,590 Mio with the second attempt. Thank you 👍😃
nice!
Dang, banger as always
Here to help!
It's funny bc I couldn't get max score with Maul lead at the R5 tier but was able to get max score with B2 at the R5 tier even though everyone says that only works at R8 😅
XD there is a LOT of RNG in this new raid. I'm hoping for some tweaks to be honest!
Excellent guide
11:20. "Don't be tempted to do AOE unless you absolutely have to" => does AOE. Lol.
Famous last words lol
Noice. Well, waiting some guides with jedi teams 😊
They're next! I have all my footage recorded :)
Scrybe - do you think R9 B2 will work instead of Nute in this trio for L7 max score? I already have the droid at R8. Thanks man!
potentially. His constnat interrupts may cause some issues if you get a lot of "charge" waves, but otherwise it could be OK.
Thanks
my maul is only r4 unfortunately. But I managed the max score on tier 3 with him, a r5 nute and a r7 sidious on my second try. Thanks!
Nice!

Hello Mister Cheese Master,
I have two questions about the raid :
- How mandatory are Maul and Sidious' zetas in the run you showcase ?
- Have someone tried a Queen Amidala run with only Padawan Obi wan and no Master Qui Gon (since he's not farmable yet). I wonder if i should push for POW without being able to farm MQG
Nice guide once again !
You need the zetas for Maul & Sidious :).
I have not yet seen a run without MQG in the raid...I think it will hurt Padawan Obiwan quite a lot as he will lose the discplined buff. I'm sure it won't take too long for MQG to be farmable, though - and it's a fantastic team!
Thank you for this guide! You are right - R9 works just fine to get a max 3.6m score, though I went a lot more health-heavy.
nice! Good to know, brother
moddings a pain but it works
Yup!
do they nerfed this?? my maul is not ramping
no mater what i do my r7 maul just hit for 65k on basic, even after 3 waves
I don't think so, no. I did it a couple days afo
Test Luminara - Fisto - Yoda - Shaak
I have a Lumi and a Kelleren Beck team guides all recorded and ready to go! They'll be out in the next couple days
I'm running into a situation where at the beginning of the granted ability wave the droids are each taking several turns before I get to use the granted abilities killing everyone but maul. I cant figure out if that's normal or not. I didn't see it happen in your video. Did it happen on any of your other runs?
Do wanna see this 3 man at r9 max score
Same lol
Is there a mechanical reason it's a 3 man? I also have stap and b2 at r7.
not really, no. Take a full team if you want :). This just saves the need to R7 those if you haven't already
Awesome man my nute and sidious is r7 but maul is r5. Will it still be decent?
Should still be OK. Obviously you can only get a max of 1.2m points for now though :)
@@ScrybeGaming thanks heaps! :)
You got it brother
Super good video, but if i try this what do i use with my sep team? If both Nute and Sidius is in this team?
I don't run a separatist team outside of this. Haven't gotten a split that's worth it (yet).
Maybe It was win the video and I missed it but who can I use as a replacement for Nute?
STAP is a replacement that can be used. Some people have had success with DDK
Amazing thank you 🙏
Thanks for the comment :) :)
You mention in the video you can have hotbot create the mod sets for you.. is this through the GI optimizer? I've never played with loadouts on there.
So by using nute, maul, and sidous, who do you run with the other droids to have a leadership ability?
I don't. This is the only darkside team I run in my 10.5m score. More videos coming out this week on my teams.
What character could you use instead of Nute?
What do i do if i dont have nute at r7? Do a lower tier or run sid and maul alone?
Could G12 characters with significantly worse mods clear one of the lowest 2 difficulties using this team/strategy? Trying to figure out what's feasible for a small account to do lol
Realistically how many retries is this taking to achieve?
10-15?
Nute is g12. Do i really need to relic him?
Is it possible to do this with only g12 maul and Sidious?
I'm not sure, I couldn't test it unfortunately. I'd give it a try though!
if i do the toons from scratch, which zetas are required?
Maul and Sidious need thiers.
Cant use Maul in this raid…
I ll see myself out…
Seriously though, it's amazing how many of these TH-camrs write/say Maul when they mean Darth Maul, and then they write/say Darth Maul when they just mean Maul.
I guess influencer doesnt require a high degree of specificity?
XD
Specificity doesn't matter when context is implicit. The thumbnail clearly shows the new raid. There's only one "Maul" that can run in the raid, which is Darth Maul.
I guess it helps a lot if all your mods are God mods... 0.o
100%. Mods are INVALUABLE in the game. It's why I've always advocated to constantly farm mods as part of daily activities :)
Guessing everyone's zetas are needed though?
Darth maul and Sidious' are, yeah
Darth Maul lead zeta is needed right?
And sidious', yeah
So Nute is replaceable here? I could throw in like a Droideka or Magna and be fine, or is there another specific character like Nute, I just don’t wanna gear him if I don’t have to 😂
Nute is an R7 requirement for Lord Vader either way :). In fact, all three of these characters are r7 requirements. You could probably replace Nute with someone else, but you miss out on the dispel buff and AoE speed down.
@@ScrybeGaming Ah fair, I’ve got the Sith at R7 but forgot Nute was a requirement as well 🤦♂️
This is great...if we actually had Maul...
That's Darth Maul, not the Conquest Maul?
@@winterblink8495 ah ok then, Darth Mauls time as finally come
o.O
What purpose does Nute serve?
Speed down and a dispel for DDK. You can swap him for STAP thouhg.
You lost me at re-modding 😅 Thank you for the guide though
I feel ya, it's kind of required to get 100% out of the raid the most time. Gungans are the exception. They just roll lol
@@ScrybeGaming i dont use hot utils so i cant justify the time moving mods on top of the horrible time sink this raid is. I would happily build loadouts if CG would just integrate mods swapping into the game
What order did you do the ship abilities in?
I change the ship ability use based on the modifier of the command droid.
Priority 1: If the enemy has the bonus turn modifier - use the Disrupt Communications special.
Priority 2: Twin Blaster Cannons.
Priority 3: Defensive Spiral: I try to save this for the last wave with the two STAPs in. This gives you locked Tenacity Up so the enemy can't land provoke on you.
@@ScrybeGaming cheers Scribble
Also possible with droideka instead of nute?
Not sure...it's possible with STAP instead of Nute. Nute is handy to dispel DI on DDK
Unfortunatelly also dont have stap. Ah ok i get it, so maybe ill try then with B2. Got him relic 5 already
How important is the Sidious zeta?
I'd say pretty important. He's gaining a lot more turn meter with it which really helps ease the rng. extra potency and survivability counts.
community hero
The RNG in this raid is too effing high. The first time I tried this I did 1.4m on tier 5. Today, I gave up on tier 5 after many attempts and now I'm giving up on tier 4 and going to a B2 lead. It's just complete ass.
Yeah, the raid is way overtuned with RNG, unfortunately.
Do you have your mod template om hot utils?
I do, but not one that is shared currently :).
@@ScrybeGaming nice, I keep playing around with mine, can't get the stats right
Do you need Maul Lead Zeta?
I think at this point, yeah
Absolutely yes
Yup, zetas are mandatory I feel
I was able to get 1.5 without it but it was a pretty lucky run
is this viable at g12?
hmm, potentially? I haven't tried for obvious reasons.
@@ScrybeGaming yeah I figured, I thought maybe you had some other data points. My maul and sid are sitting at g12 with no extra pieces waiting for an SEE LS bundle haha
Thanks for the reply!
No worries! Let me know how it goes!
ehh this one battle is to rng, i moded exectly like you said, and i think about end with this game after 3hours of trying to even pass third way
Unfortunately lots of RNG in this raid :(.
